Moving a whole house is different from a quick apartment job: more rooms, more stairs, hardwood and trim to protect, and a garage and basement nobody wants to think about. Alsam handles full residential moves across the Northwest Suburbs on one flat written rate, start to finish.
The homes we move
The Northwest Suburbs are a mix of older brick-and-frame houses near downtown Schaumburg and newer master-planned subdivisions out toward Bartlett and Streamwood. We move all of them, and we plan the crew size around the home, not a one-size truck.
Established neighborhoods
Two-story brick and frame homes near Schaumburg, Roselle and Palatine — narrow staircases, hardwood floors and original door frames that need padding and runners.
Master-planned subdivisions
Newer builds toward Bartlett, Streamwood and Hoffman Estates — wide layouts, finished basements and three-car garages that mean more boxes and a bigger crew.
How we protect the house
Floors and trim take the most damage in a careless move, so protection is standard, not an upsell. The crew sets up before the first box moves.
- Floor runners and hardwood pads on the main carry paths
- Door-frame and corner guards at every doorway and turn
- Shrink-wrap and moving blankets on dressers, sofas and case goods
- Mattress and TV protection; beds and tables disassembled and rebuilt
- Garage, basement and attic loads included in the plan, not skipped
| Home size | Flat written rate |
|---|---|
| 2-bedroom house | $1,000–$1,720 |
| 3-bedroom house | $1,720–$2,850 |
| 4-bedroom house | $2,800–$4,400 |
One flat rate for the whole house
We quote a flat written price for the full home — every room, the garage and the basement — so the number does not climb because the job ran long. Pianos and climate-controlled storage have their own clear lines if you need them.
Planning a winter house move
A full house can take most of a day, and a Chicago winter does not wait. We start residential crews early so the bulk of the load is done before afternoon snow or road salt turns the driveway and I-290 into a problem.
What Our Northwest Suburbs Crew Brings
- Crew sized to the home — 3 or 4 movers for full houses
- Hardwood pads, floor runners and door-frame guards as standard
- Shrink-wrap and blankets on all furniture and case goods
- Beds, tables and large furniture disassembled and reassembled
- Garage, basement and attic loads planned into one flat rate
- $1M cargo coverage and a flat written price for the whole house
